Struggling to run AND lift back-to-back. Thought about it today, but just could not make it happen.

Was going to do the usual today - PRE into SPFD - but felt the need to shake it up a bit, so I took some backwards ways of getting there. Good thing, because in doing so, going into SPFD on the bark, I ran into Tom Titus, a former patient and UO prof - and hard-core runner. I've been seeing him around town a ton lately, with quick hellos, but I decided to head back west into PRE with him.

His stride for age 58 is looking awesome, and he was running faster than me. But the fun of chatting with him must've kept my HR down as we rolled mid-7s on the trail! Ran back to Autzen Bridge with him, then looped back for another complete east PRE loop. Good bark mileage...

..but I got back too late to go to Oakway, choosing instead to actually have time to eat.

PM: CA and I met student Nathan at Max's for some early Lonesome Randall. Some arguments tonight about "stress management" - we're both a little stressed right now, and I wrongfully took it out on CA, who's REALLY hyper-sensitive to when she feels she "doesn't do things right, how I want them". Not great, but good communication.

I think I realize that, at times, the situation can remind me of Britt: messy, disorganized, injury-prone, and lacking responsibility. It's never "that bad", but sometimes things align to touch that old nerve.
